Some things I have learned...
...in the past three weeks since being back at school...
* Indian/South Asian literature really intrigues me, and so far the class has been very enjoyable. I'm interested to see what else I will be reading this semester.
* Apparently some school systems tried to ban the teaching of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in the 1980's on the premise that the act of teaching it was a hate crime.
* "God invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey." ~Mark Twain
* I still have a fondness for interesting chairs, which was proved by my newest addition of a plush black swivel chair.
* Old driving habits have not completely left me, like flooring it when my passenger yells, "Just floor it, we can make it!", or driving with my foot out the window.
* I still dislike cooking for just me... I need to like leftovers more.
* My thesis is interesting, but I wish I wasn't already behind. I can't say my comps reading is interesting, but I'm even farther behind on that.
* I can still run across the street and dodge cars in nearly 6 inch heels.
* I enjoy living alone, and only having to deal with my crap.
* It's been a blast hanging out with the second year grad kids again and getting to know the first years. I for see lots of drinking in the future.
* Some of those old demons are rearing their ugly heads again. I hate when baggage I thought I'd left behind shows up on my front door step.
* I can't wait to be able to read what I want to and not what I have to.
* Overall, things have been fairly good recently even if busy.
